Corrosion Behavior of Tubing in High-Salinity Formation Water Environment Containing H2S/CO2 in Yingzhong Block

Abstract

To clarify the corrosion behavior of P110SS material under the synergistic action of multiple factors such as a CO2/H2S coexistence environment, a high temperature, and high-salinity formation water, a series of simulation tests and analyses were carried out in this paper. High-temperature high-pressure autoclaves, scanning electron microscopy, and a three-dimensional microscope were used to analyze and evaluate the changing trend of the corrosion performance of P110SS tubing material under different temperatures and a H2S/CO2 partial pressure ratio in a high-salinity formation water environment, and the corrosion cracking sensitivity and pitting sensitivity of the material with stress were compared and analyzed. The results indicate that the average corrosion rate of P110SS material without stress increases with the rising test temperature, and the corrosion damage worsens with an increase in the H2S: CO2 partial pressure ratio. The highest corrosion rate for P110SS material is 0.99 mm/a. When the test temperature varies from 80 °C to 180 °C and PH2S:PCO2 = 0.53:0.17, the P110SS material with a loading stress of 85% YSmin is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Although surface pitting nucleation is evident at a high temperature of 180 °C, no expansion-induced cracking or fracture phenomena occur.
